Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift cake flour with baking powder and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl . In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until soft; then slowly mix sugar in, beat egg yolks in, one at a time, beating after each addition.
Divide the contents of the medium sized mixing bowl into 3 separate parts and add to bowl, alternating with milk. Stir batter until smooth.
Whip egg whites until they are stiff, but not dry.
Bake in greased pans for 30-35 minutes.
Add icing and whipped cream and you've made yourself a DELICIOUS cake! Recipe from an old Joy of Cooking.
Look for Maple Icing - it is great on the cake, it was also contributed by me!!
